General description
Gelatin is a natural biopolymer derived from collagen that plays an important role in the biomedical field due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and nonimmunogenicity. Acrylate-functionalized gelatin, or gelatin acrylate, can be crosslinked using thiol-Michael click chemistry as well as photochemical crosslinking. It′s properties are very similar to gelatin methacrylate (GelMA). Crosslinked gelatin hydrogels have many applications in tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting.

Biocompatible hydrogels with defined mechanical properties are critical to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Thiol-acrylate photopolymerized hydrogels have attracted special interest for their degradability and cytocompatibility, and for their tunable mechanical properties through controlling factors that affect reaction kinetics (e.g.

Natural hydrogels are promising scaffolds to engineer epidermis. Currently, natural hydrogels used to support epidermal regeneration are mainly collagen- or gelatin-based, which mimic the natural dermal extracellular matrix but often suffer from insufficient and uncontrollable mechanical and degradation properties.

Microfabrication technology provides a highly versatile platform for engineering hydrogels used in biomedical applications with high-resolution control and injectability. Herein, we present a strategy of microfluidics-assisted fabrication photo-cross-linkable gelatin microgels, coupled with providing protective silica hydrogel layer on the microgel

Hydrogels are often employed as temporary platforms for cell proliferation and tissue organization in vitro. Researchers have incorporated photodegradable moieties into synthetic polymeric hydrogels as a means of achieving spatiotemporal control over material properties. In this study protein-based photodegradable hydrogels
